Note 3 News Widget? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just moved over from Sprint and happy to be with Verizon. I just got the Note 3. Previously I had the Note 2 and loved it. The Note 2 and other Samsung phones had a news widget, Yahoo! News. Also When I setup my alarm on the Note 2 I had the option for the alarm to brief me on Weather, Calendar events, and Top stories. Since I switched over to the Verizon Note 3 I do not see these functions on it. Did they get removed? Does anyone know if I pull the apks from an S4 would they work?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
BlueKalel

[Q] Coming from galaxy gear

Hi all,
I am currently using a galaxy note 3 with a galaxy gear watch and although the watch is great I do find it really has its limits. I'm thinking about changing to a Nexus 5 (because its smaller and has stock android as i'm fed up with crap on a phone) and possibly the moto 360 with the metal band. With android wear is it possible to read all notifications from apps like the new google messenger, whatsapp, wechat etc and respond to them all too? At the moment on the gear I am limited to only being able to do that to samsung made maps, sometimes it works with other apps but I cannot reply to them and if you have more than 1 message it says you have x messages rather than showing you the content. Iv'e also seen in a review that a few apps just force you to get your phone out really quite often? Also is it possible to use some kind of tasker like app to use voice commands to run certain things on your phone?
Thanks all
Yes... to all questions
Facebook is the only common app that doesn't give much detail on multiple notifications... And can't reply.. But that I presume will soon change in future

[Q] ocr?

I finally got excited that I'd have a use for some of the Samsung bloat by ocr'ing some receipt numbers. I remember seeing ocr video on note 2 but it seems note 3 has none?
So I read up and apparently Google drive can do it. Nope they have removed the feature for some reason.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something here I don't want to download another specialist app just for this feature that used to work in Drive.
Thanks

[Q] Question. galaxy Essentials

Can anybody point me in the right direction. My wife's note 3 does not have Galaxy essentials installed. It's the verizon sm-n900v model. I need it to update sns provider. It's for Facebook one tap login. If anyone can gimme an apk or somehow add the widget that would be highly appreciated. I contacted samsung support and they couldn't do anything. They said galaxy essentials is only for Samsung s5 and newer devices. I cannot update sns provider without the essentials widget. Thanks in advance.
Fixed it. I ripped the apk from my t mobile note 4 using apk extractor From the play store and installed it on her note 3. Worked like a charm. Yet one tap fb still does not work. O well.
